Hi! This bug was closed because "The submitter of the bug has found a solution". However, he didn't really find a solution, what he found was a workaround, that in some cases works, but in some others is not enough. I had applied this workaround last week, but today I found that several programs gave "out of memory" errors, when xms was off.
Thus, I think that we need to really address the issue, instead of working around it. In my case, I experience this bug when trying to compile a Clipper program. The error reported by dosemu is first (on the first compilation): ERROR: SMALLOC: bad pointer passed to smfree() Then (on a second compilation, or on executing the compiled program): ERROR: SMALLOC: Out Of Memory on alloc, requested=102400 I think it's pretty clear that the bug is related to a bad free. Most probably, a double free. I'll be looking into the code to see if I can find a solution. Please, don't close a memory leak bug just because there's a workaround for it. -- Besos, Marga -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
